The Sleep Which The Drugs Bring.

Sleep bringing drugs mean mischief. They
bring sleep, il is true, but they bring more
mischief than rest. The sleep produced is not
healthy. There is no refreshment in il. The
more you take these drugs the more they rack
your nerves demoralize your brain and give
occasion for more and more drugs. "How,
them shall procure sleepr" asks the nervous
and shattered victim OF insomnia.
The records Of the victories Of Compound
Oxygen are full Of easesin which sleepless suf-
ferers have been blessed with quiet and refresh
ing slumber. That of Mr.. Arthur Hagan, of
Philadelphia, a well-knOwn merchant, may be
mentioned as one. On taking Compound Oxy-
gen, with faithful perseverance aud good nurs-
ing. his shattered nervous system was restored
TO health. his dyspepsia departed and he en-
tered into the enjoyment Of good health.
Mr. J. b. Kenyon writes from Bedford, Ohio

GEN. BLACK.
How lie Protected Ills Wen From Congressional
- Economists

- EcOu0miSts.'
National Free Press. Of Washington.l
The Government clerk is a man who does
not receive much sympathy from the public at
large, but he is man who is required to per-
form a good deal of Notwithstanding labor
His work is stnted, and if he does not perform
his daily stint he falls into the bad graces of
his chief, and he is lucky if worse does not be-
fall him. OF course there are few soft
places in the various Departments of the Gov
ernment, but the average Government clerk is
hard-working man who goes home in the
evening fatigued. fretful, and strongly of opin-
ion that time is out of Joint. Gen. Black
keenly sensible of the trying nature of hard
clerical work, warmly espoused the cause of his
men when the Appropriation Committee of
Congress, last session, wished him to make his
men work over hours. He resisted the pres
sure then put upon him. and his attitude on
that occasion proved that he has a warm spot
in his heart for the wage worker, as well as the
soldier.
1t seems incomprehensible to some that n
man can do enough work between o'clock a.
m. and 4 o'clock p. m to become tired. He
can, however, especially when that work is Of
semi-judicial character, and more especially
when he works at high pressure in competition
with others. When asked by a member of the
Appropriation Committee if his men could not
work extra hours, Gen. Black replied that he
would not like TO make them work extra
hours, because he thought that when the hour
for quitting arrived they had performed all the
work they ought to do. Some, he admitted,
might be able to stand an extraordinary strain,
but there were many who could not, and he
did not think il right to sacrifice the weak by
working them over hours The action of Gen.
Black in thus protecting the clerks under his
control from those who wish TO pose before
their constituents as cheese-paring statesmen of
the first order is in harmony with his previous
utterances on the labor question, and in strik-
ing contrast with the manner in which the
clerks in another Department of the Govern
ment have been handled. Gen. Black has
proved himself 10 be the friend of the wage
worker
